Abstract:
N,N-dimethylbenzimidazolium iodide catalysed benzoin condensation and Stetter reaction in 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hydroxide [bmim][OH] which acts as a basic catalyst as well as a solvent for the reactions are described. The recycled reaction media containing benzimidazolium salt can be reused for several times without significant loss of efficiency.
Keywords:Benzoin condensation; Stetter reaction; N; N-dimethylbenzimidazolium iodide; [bmim][OH]
